经典!奥巴马答雅思作文题.

　　如果我们能在雅思写作中加入一些名人言论，那我们的作文论证自然会更具说服力。如果加入的内容更是当今政要们的一些讲话，那在雅思考官的眼中，我们不仅英语能力胜任，同时还对世界时事颇为关注，那考官对我们的印象分数，自然大大增加。 以下是奥巴马总统于统11月16日的讲话，我们来看一看，总统的演说能否应用到我们的作文题中。

　　在雅思写作考试中，曾有考到富国是否要帮助发展中或者尚待发展的国家和地区的考题，如：

�

　　Should rich countries offer assistance to those underdeveloped and undeveloped ones?

�

　　总统讲话中则提到了富国提供帮助的好处：他认为当今世界就是一个相互联系的地球村，该举使得双方受益，无论是帮助方还是接受帮助方。

�

　　In 1979, trade between the United States and China stood at roughly $5 billion -- today it tops over $400 billion each year. The commerce affects our people&aposs lives in so many ways. America imports from China many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear; and we export to China machinery that helps power your industry. This trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the Pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life. And as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.

�

　　I&aposve said many times that I believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected. The jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek -- all of these things are shared.

�

　　总统也提到了体育发展对于全人类的意义，同样，这个内容可以运用于以下这个考题：

�

　　Why it is important to develop sports?

�

　　总统讲话内容：

�

　　And in 1979, the connections among our people were limited. Today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors.

�

　　Yao Ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball.

�

　　我们都知道环境问题是雅思议论文中一个比较热门的考题，我们曾经遇到过：

�

　　The environmental problems are becoming worse. What can we do to help to make it better?/ Some people say that solving environmental problems should only be the government concern, companies and individuals can hardly make any fort. What is your opinion?

�

　　总统讲话中关于环境的内容还是比较多的，总统认为中国和美国作为两个世界大国，应该在环境问题的解决上起到领导和主导作用。政府应当首当其冲的站在一个积极保护环境的立场。

�

　　In the United States, I think we are learning how to develop buildings that use much less energy, that are much more energy-ficient. And I know that with Shanghai, as I traveled and I saw all the cranes and all the new buildings that are going up, it&aposs very important for us to start incorporating these new technologies so that each building is energy-ficient when it comes to lighting, when it comes to heating. And so it&aposs a terrific opportunity I think for us to learn from each other.

�

　　So let me give you a specific example, and that is the issue we were just discussing of climate change. The United States and China are the world&aposs two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, of carbon that is causing the planet to warm. Now, the United States, as a highly developed country, as I said bore, per capita, consumes much more energy and emits much more greenhouse gases for each individual than does China. On the other hand, China is growing at a much faster pace and it has a much larger population. So unless both of our countries are willing to take critical steps in dealing with this issue, we will not be able to resolve it.

�

　　讲话中总统还运用了美国本土的俚语：I don&apost know if there&aposs a similar saying in China -- we have a saying: "You made your bed, now you have to sleep in it." 而这句话用在雅思犯罪类的作文里是再贴切不过的了，类似于中文的“咎由自取”。

　　在总统讲话中，还有多处提到了教育问题，文化融合问题，科技进步问题，这些问题都和雅思议论文密切相关，不失为一篇好的学习写作的背景文章。
